Your idea of heaven (tongue-in-cheek)

Diving once more in the Caribbean and being fit enough to do so with a lovely light fish meal and ex-Pat strength G&T when I eventually surface!

A short break in Venice. Being whisked from the airport by speedboat and feeling the salty wind on my face

Wonderful! Visited Venice many times and that journey across the lagoon is a wonderful beginning and end to the visit.

My idea of heaven now is a day when I am expecting neither visitors not deliveries. I disable the doorbell and chill out. Eat what I want when I want it, get up and go to bed when I please.

No dogs left to yelp or bark during the day.

No prohibited but ignored footballs being thumped back and forth on the grassed area for hours on end.

Sitting in the garden on a warm, not hot day, sipping a pink gin listening to the quiet; dogs and footballers permitting.

No dust off dry roads messing up my car just after its been cleaned.

This brought tears to my eyes Lucca as we are in the same position. A cancer diagnosis out of the blue with no previous symptoms. How I hope they are wrong but I don’t think so ???

My best wishes to you granto2. All I can say is I hope the care you receive is as kind as mine is. We have a wonderful unit locally,

Some time for myself everyday. It never happens!!!

Afternoon tea in a warm sunny garden followed by a snooze on the sunbed with a good book - which might or might not be read before the nap ensues.

How I agree with Lucca saying a 'phone call from the oncologist that it was all a mistake. Our health is the most important thing in life. Wishing you all the best Lucca.

@blinko. I don’t think I have ever turned my mattress. But clean white cotton sheets, bliss.

@Babs78 curious to know how strong is an ex-pat strength G&T!

Being at the airport, awaiting a sunny Greek holiday. Watching the planes depart.. knowing I’m going too ?☀️

Perpetual summer for me please.

My idea of heaven is eternal warm spring/summer days sharing it with family and friends by the sea with a favourite cocktail

Thank You, Day 13 now and I think I am turning the corner.
